At 3,257 acres (1,318 ha),[1] it is the sixth-largest lake located entirely in New Hampshire.

The lake is fed by the West Branch (entering from the north), the Bearcamp and Lovell rivers (entering from the west), and the Pine River (from the south).

As in most lakes regions, some buildings are available for vacation rentals, and many of the developments have private beaches.

[citation needed] The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, lake trout, land-locked salmon, smallmouth and largemouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, white perch, sunfish, and brown bullhead.
